romney believes. there's a theme there that biden can work, which is the differences between the two. ryan has been quite specific in his career, the details of his specificity in the past are different from what romney believes now. if biden can exploit that and make it look like they're kind of fuzzing the numbers up and making it up as they go along and hiding their true intentions, that's really what the obama people are praying for in terms of a good outcome from this debate. >> john dickerson, thank you. >>> "fortune" magazine is out this morning with a new under-40 list. it ranks the top 40 innovators in various fields who are all under the age of, well, 40. mayo of yahoo is on the list, the youngest ceo. number two is mark zuckerberg, founder and ceo of facebook. the social network just hit 1 billion active users. and number one is larry page, co-founder and ceo of google, and his google partner, sergey brin, is also in the top five. and guess who else is on the list? we're feeling a little pr

that's what the romney campaign has been pushing. does ryan underline that the ticket is basically hiding their true beliefs and true numbers. if either one of those does that it carries on the story line. otherwise it's fodder for a couple of days and disappears. >> john, there's a generation gap between the vice president and the congressman. how do you think that will affect the tone of the debate if at all? >> reporter: well, it will be an interesting thing to watch. you can affect it in terms of tone. remember when geraldine ferraro debated bush and snapped back at him on foreign policy. there could be a situation where joe biden can look a little, you know, look sonny and that would end up being a gap. other than that younger voters are with president obama so not a big electoral impact. >> if you go inside our cbs "new york times" poll we see that myrle has a lead in three battleground states over president obama on the question of being a strong leader. how worrisome is that for the obama campaign? >> reporter: that's a probl
